Almond pound cake introduction
Preheat the oven and get ready to bake a completely flawless breakfast treat. Buttery, thick and moist, this beauty bakes with a fine and tender crumb; that’s all a pound cake should have been and more thanks to fresh and juicy blueberries!
The first reason why you should eat blueberries is their nutritional value. Namely, blueberries are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, including:
Vitamin K1 – This nutrient is also known as phylloquinone. It mainly participates in blood clotting, and has a positive effect on bone health.
Vitamin C – Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is an antioxidant important for skin health and immune function.
Manganese – This essential mineral is needed for the normal metabolism of amino acids, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.
Blueberries also contain small amounts of vitamin E, vitamin B6 and copper.
Use this recipe as a quick breakfast, dessert or as a lunch snack to satisfy your craving for sweets.
Like all pound cakes, you need to take a few steps to ensure a perfectly baked cake of fine texture. However, don’t let this discourage you from preparing. Eventually, as you cut into a slice of buttery, thick cake with blueberries and chocolate, you’ll see (and taste) the effort paid off.
Tips for baking the best cake
A steel bread pan or kuglof gives the best results so that the kilo cake does not overcook on the side.
Room temperature ingredients are the most important thing when it comes to baking a pound cake! Remember to put butter and eggs at room temperature in advance, preferably higher before!
Make sure your oven heats up before you start working with your ingredients!
If you want to take the cake out of the mold in one piece, grease the mold with butter and flour!
Take the time to properly cream the butter and sugar and it will make a big difference in texture! It is necessary to get a fine, frothy cream.
The weight cake is baked in the oven for a long time. Protect it with foil to keep the top a nice golden-brown color. Don’t rush the cooling process! Give it at least 15-20 minutes on the grill before turning it off.
